Brown discharge before period with odor

Common Questions and Answers about Brown discharge before period with odor

discharge

Then around November last year, I noticed brown dischargebefore my period and it has continued ever since. There's no odor. The discharge is kind of milky brown.
Forums I've read say it may be implantation bleeding but I don't think it is in my case. I'm kind of hesitant to visit a doctor because I heard that they may insert some device up my vagina to check out the uterus. (They say it's painful) Any idea as to what is causing this? Thank you.

Hi, I am 21 years old and I have had a discharge since I can remember ever getting my period for the first time(12years old)which was before I was sexually active. I have also had overy pain since I can remember. Mainly my right overy. It swells up every single night with pain. I have right pain where my overy is every single day since the age of 12.

For the past 5 months I've been having a brown sometimes bloody discharge from vagina. I have my period every 28th of each month and this discharge comes about 2 weeks before my next period ( usually around the 10th-13th). What can it be? Sometimes it comes with a very bad odor...but other times it doesn"t. I am very worried about this. I have also been trying to conceive and have had no luck! I have two boys ages 6 and 4 and have been married for 7 years now.

The only thing different that has occurred over the last few years is that before and after my periods I discharge dark brown, but I associated that to old blood being cleansed from my body. Any answers you can provide would be helpful.

I had sex every month and then the following week after I got my period in April. On May 2nd I woke up with a dark browndischarge that smelled like blood. I've been having it on and off since then. One day it was a light pink shade of blood but it has mostly been dark brown. For the past two days it has been a lighter brown and barely any. I had period like cramps the first day but no other pain. I also break out when I get my period and this time I broke out as well.

Hi,
At the time my period was due i got a thick Dark browndischarge that lasted 4-5days enough to wear a pad/tampon i didn't get any cramps or tender breast like normal and its been 10 days sense then and now i have a light brown discharge plus slight cramps, i have done two pregnancy test both have been negative,so i'm a little confused??

Had brown discharge two weeks before period. Period started. Period is ending. Now I am having browndischarge again with a horrible odor - smells like something died.....
I apologize for this being so long, but I'm really freaking out because it's been one thing after another. All I want to be is "normal" again. Thanks for any help anybody can give me!!

A lot of time discharge gets a tiny bit of blood mixed in. Blood will turn a brownish color because your vagina is acidic. It's really nothing to be worried about. Could you be pregnant? That happens frequently for some people when they are.

i had a little for the first time before my last period and then now i havent had my period for a week and a half and i got the the same thing but more now im on the generic version of yaz and it says there could be spotting is that blood with regular discharge or and infection? should i be worried?

Like I said my period was supposed to be here by now but instead, I have a very thin, yellow with a tint of brown discharge that smells like period or like a fishy odor. I cannot smell the odor unless I purposely try to... Normally before my periods, I have a very thick white discharge. I have no idea what this change is or means?

As i wiped, I believe I saw very little kinda dark brownwith light (my period is due by the 20s) so I put a pad on to later find,out that I only had light brown discharge. Im hoping,it can,signify the possibility of being pregnant. Usually when i spot , its dark brown and I get my period that same day in an hour or less . And no its not an infection. Im,not itchy and it does not contain an odor.

Okay, well I have been trying to conceive and today I woke up with what I thought would be my period. As i wiped, I believe I saw very little kinda dark brownwith light (my period is due by the 20s) so I put a pad on to later find,out that I only had light brown discharge. Im hoping,it can,signify the possibility of being pregnant. Usually when i spot , its dark brown and I get my period that same day in an hour or less . And no its not an infection.

I've never had browndischargebefore except for right after my period. But its been about two weeks since my period and its not time for me to start my next one. My boyfriend has been my only sex partner for a year and a half now. I just got off antibiotics, arythromycin, for a sinus and ear infection as well. The brown discharge started the day after I finished it. I don't know if that has anything to do with it.
Tailb1983...sounds like you miscarried.

Currently she is experiencing brown vaginal discharges of the dark and musky type. Her last period was 3 weeks ago. The discharges have been going on for 5 days as of this post. She experiences no pain or irritation of any kinds, and her discharge does not give off any foul odor, except for a slight musky scent. We last had sexual intercourse around 4 days ago, with protection as always.

i am one that had brown spotting for a week before each period for 4 years so i have learned that brown spotting is a sign that your period is on its way. I also spotted for 9 weeks of my pregnancy, light brown, dark brown, and pink. the doctor told me while i was pregnant that the brown blood will get darker when you are about to stop spotting. sure enough, one day it was really dark brown and a bit thicker and that was the last day that i spotted.

did you mean you have not had your period yet for the month or you are young and have not had it at all? i am guessing you meant for the month but ya never know. that is "good thinking" on behalf of the dr. who suggested a tampon may be in there that you forgot about!
also, i know this sounds gross but when you mentioned the smell, if i eat a lot of starch like potatos, pasta..

I do not know if that this has anything to do with being pregnant either. I am at a total loss I have actually missed my period by a week. So anything you may have to offer would be great I just do not know what to do.. I havent had this happen before.

I had no vaginal discharge until the past two days, this normally happens to me regularly whether its before or after my period but my vaginal discharge is whitish light brown and ends up staining my underwear. Both the white and browndischarge has an odor, the browndischarge has a worse odor to it though. Both inside and outside of the vagina has been itchy for sometime but the itch comes and goes, when it comes its almost unbearable at times but when it goes Its like it never happened.

hi, i figured you had most of the answers to these type of questions so- i had a browndischargebefore my period for like 4 days.. then i got my period when it usually comes but this time it's so light! and usually it's like heavy.. is that normal? or what?

i also have been under a lot of stress do you think that could have something to do with it?? the browndischarge for 3 weeks is making me really nervous and i dont know if that means im pregnant or not? any ideas??

I have frequent itching and the discharge has an odor. It has been this way for quite sometime now. I'm not sure if this is an infection, and I've never been to a gynecologist before. I haven't talked to anybody about it, just because I'm not really sure how to approach it or anything. I think I might have a hormone problem because I was premature when I was born and that has seemed to cause many of my developing problems. I just need an idea of what is wrong with me.
